Rewiring the stomatal lineage: A novel developmental pathway to plant totipotency
This commentary highlights a study revealing that stomatal lineage precursor cells can be reprogrammed into somatic embryos through a LEC2-SPCH-YUC auxin regulatory circuit. This study uncovers a developmental route to plant totipotency and offers promising strategies for improving regeneration efficiency in difficult-to-transform crop species.
